October 20, 2015



Another mid-night awakening and then no sleep because I was thinking of people coming into my home –  it isn’t a good feeling.  I have some valuable stuff, though more of it is emotional value.  60 days notice to move fine – coming in via a lockbox…I’m not liking that very much at all.  Then I had to sign this paper for them..that was probably worst of all.  Finally I drifted off, though and awoke to that horrible alarm.  I learned this morning through a link from Susan that legally, I should be given 24 hours’ notice from my landlord before he visits (so now more “I’m on my way to ----“) and the real estate agent.  Good.  I’ll let them know tomorrow morning.  The neat thing is the temperature was 48 as we headed off in the car – 9 Celsius, I believe.  I’m trying to learn the other way of temperature.   

Supervision went well.  I told Susan I feel so…mentally unhelpful, as if nothing I’m doing is doing anything and she suggested it is probably because the kids I feel that way with are doing ok now…they have the tools they need to work through issues.  The ones that are going through crisis do need me.  That made me feel a little better.  I also spoke with Sweet Haley who is soon on her way to Texas with her baby belly and her husband - she gave me suggestions as to what I can do to up my psychoknowhow once my current chaos is easing….

I went home to pack more…still on edge, a bundle of nerves.  The person showing a possible rental had said can I meet her at 11:30 then never responded as to which day, so I headed over.  She meant Sunday, of course.  Back again, loading up al the beer stanges and großes glasses from my CH years.  This mean more to me than all those Waterford crystal glasses I have – because there are memories attached, great memories.  Then I noticed – somebody stole my dad…or I packed him somewhere that I don’t recollect.  I don’t want to unpack everything again.  I’ve been doing this very robotly and thinking about 20 million other things, so I have no idea where he is.  

Went to visit my client.  Just heart breaking and there support is really all I can give.  Grabbed Mags, brought her home, grabbed Ethan from basketball, and brought him home.  Driving.  So much driving.  I could “be on the road with my own rig” if I had chosen trucker – and I’d make twice as much as I do right now, too.  I’d need a CB though.  "Roger, Roger, 10-4, copy – over ‘n out."  Off to Parent Project tonight.
 

My thighs are so damn sore and it isn’t from exercise – it’s all this stress-eating (chocolate in particular) I have started.  I am truly and legitimately terrified of cranberry season.  My goal is to hit Switzerland first, them I’ll come back and make them.  On the way home after a late group, I stopped by and got 4 Lindt chocolate bars.  This was a very bad idea.  I need to start yoga again.  Run.  Dance.  Have sex . Go back to the gym.  I still have 8 Jake sessions.  Ohhhhhhh groooooaaaannnnn…..

Pictures:  A plane Ethan built when he was 3 (Violet is photobombing); Property that reminds me of the ranch behind our house in Midland...house siting up on a hill off of Mockingbird Lane,  nice and humble - not the horrific McMansions in the area now; my colleague/therapist today, Bonnie; Nature.
